 Yes, exactly, this would be an EXCELLENT evaluation, but is very difficult to create this benchmark correctly.   Consider these two scenarios: 
  
  a) an individual refactors an entire project himself 
  b) a committee is formed and each member refactors the same program and then discusses and resolves all of the conflicts 
  
 In Plan a) the refactorings may be biased by that particular individual's tendency to refactor aspects of a certain type, etc.
 Plan b) would take a great deal of coordination and time

  Not that I know of....if you find one, let me know :)

Perhaps evaluating an aspect mining and refactoring tool against a code
base that has been refactored by hand may prove to be an insightful
evaluation. Does a code base of this kind exist?
